  • Built end-to-end automation frameworks from scratch using Selenium with Java and Cypress with JavaScript, following best practices for modular, maintainable, and scalable test design.
  • Created and maintained detailed test documentation in Confluence, including test plans, test cases, defect reports, and execution summaries for both automation and manual testing projects.
  • Logged and tracked defects in JIRA, ensuring clear reproduction steps, screenshots, and severity/priority classification for efficient resolution.
  • Performed performance and load testing using JMeter to analyze response times, throughput, and system scalability.
  • Executed comprehensive test suites (smoke, functional, regression, and integration) for mobile and web applications, ensuring robust coverage of critical functionalities.
  • Designed and implemented Page Object Model (POM) architecture in Selenium to improve code reusability and simplify test maintenance.
  • Conducted REST and SOAP API testing using tools like Postman, SoapUI, and Swagger, validating request/response structures, error handling, and data integrity, while automating service-level validations to ensure backend reliability and performance.
  • Integrated test suites with Jenkins CI/CD pipelines, enabling automated execution, test feedback, and reporting as part of the deployment cycle.
  • Configured Selenium test frameworks with TestNG and Maven to automatically generate execution reports, logs, and screenshots on failure, enhancing traceability and debugging efficiency.
  • Conducted manual and automated tests on Browser Stack and AWS Device Farm, validating responsive design, functionality, and performance on a wide range of browsers and devices.
  • Worked on automating tests for both front-end and back-end systems using tools like Selenium, Postman, and Karate.
  • Validated transaction logs and fund movements using SQL queries to ensure data accuracy across systems.
  • Developed and managed automated test suites using TestNG, leveraging its features like test grouping, parallel execution, data-driven testing, and detailed reporting to improve test efficiency and maintainability.
  • Actively participated in Agile Scrum ceremonies including Sprint Planning, Daily Standups, Sprint Demos, Defect Triage and Retrospectives, contributing to effective sprint execution and team collaboration.
